The Caretaker Course Hero
Dawnell Sechler
Site managers or caretakers play a vital role in schools being responsible for the maintenance and security of school buildings. They often take over the management of frontline caretaking, cleaning and security. You could also be employed as a mobile caretaker, responsible for several different sites.
It's unusual for schools to demand particular academic qualifications when advertising premises manager posts, but they may offer short, off-the-job training courses (eg, first aid, health and safety).
Information about the role is also available on The Caretakers' Website, an independent website written by caretakers across the UK. This is a useful site for looking for job vacancies and finding out about online training.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt served as President from March 1933 to April 1945, the longest tenure in American history. He may have done more during those twelve years to change American society and politics than any of his predecessors in the White House, save Abraham Lincoln. Of course, some of this was the product of circumstances; the Great Depression and the rise of Germany and Japan were beyond FDR's control. But his responses to the challenges he faced made him a defining figure in American history.
Under FDR, the American federal government assumed new and powerful roles in the nation's economy, in its corporate life, and in the health, welfare, and well-being of its citizens. The federal government in 1935 guaranteed unions the right to organize and bargain collectively, and the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 established a mechanism for putting a floor under wages and a ceiling on hours that continues to this day. It provided, in 1935, financial aid to the aged, infirm, and unemployed when they could no longer provide for themselves. Beginning in 1933, it helped rural and agricultural America with price supports and development programs when these sectors could barely survive. Finally, by embracing an activist fiscal policy after 1937, the government assumed responsibility for smoothing out the rough spots in the American economy.
Writ large, the New Deal sought to insure that the economic, social, and political benefits of American capitalism were distributed more equally among America's large and diverse populace. The New Deal did this to a remarkable degree. But FDR's New Deal failed to cure completely the Depression-induced ills of the American economy. By 1940, the percentage of Americans without jobs remained in double digits and the American people lacked the purchasing power to jump start the economy. Only American entry into World War II ended this torpor.
If capitalism was still sick in 1940, democracy was also suffering from various maladies. African Americans and women, despite a number of benefits accrued from the New Deal, still received far fewer of those benefits than white males and, partly as a result, remained at the bottom of the American economic ladder. The New Deal, moreover, did nothing to ensure that rights guaranteed to all Americans via the Constitution, such as the right to vote and the right to a fair trial, were guaranteed to blacks.
If FDR was elected in 1932 to fight the Depression, he was largely re-elected in 1940 because Americans believed he could guide the nation through a period of treacherous international relations. FDR correctly understood that Japan and Germany threatened the United States, which in turn endangered the cherished freedoms Americans enjoyed at home. With the onset of war in 1939, FDR ably guided America's efforts to aid its allies without formally entering into hostilities. When Japan and Germany forced his hand in December 1941, Roosevelt rallied Americans in support of a massive war effort, both at home and abroad.
In the series, U.A. High School (雄英高校, Yūei Kōkō) is a top-ranked academy for training heroes. The school is located atop a forested hill in fictional Musutafu, Japan. There are four academic tracks, or courses, available to students: Hero, General, Support, and Management. Students who are not accepted into the Hero Course are included in the General Course. However, they can still be transferred into the Hero Course by impressing the faculty at the Sports Festival[2] and by making passing grades. As stated by Class 1-A's homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa, U.A. does not adhere to traditional school methods and allows their faculty to teach their classes however they like. This includes teachers having the authority to expel students for any reason, no matter how minor.[ch. 5] Students who are expelled can be re-enrolled, although the expulsion will remain on their permanent records.[ch. 257]
The Pro Heroes (プロヒーロー, Puro Hīrō) are those who are licensed to use their Quirks to protect the civilians and save the world from the villains, natural disasters, or any other kind of harm. The overall hero activity is managed by the World Heroes Association.
To become a Pro Hero, the students in U.A. High School must work as interns through Hero Agencies.[ch. 48] The students can also take part in Hero-Work Studies under the guidance of a Pro Hero, and the permission to fight the villains in emergency situations, by passing the exam for the Provisional Hero License.[ch. 114]
In the aftermath of the Paranormal Liberation War, many Pro Heroes have retired or quit due to the massive destruction left by Gigantomachia's rampage and the prison breakouts by All For One's escape from Tartarus, causing them to receive excessive criticism from the public especially where they were vandalized by the anti-hero protestors.[ch. 300]
The Wild Wild Pussycats (ワイルドワイルドプッシーキャッツ, Wairudo Wairudo Pusshīkyattsu) are a group of four cat-themed Heroes. This hero group specialize in mountain rescue operations and are veterans in their respective fields. They even own a large forested mountain. They have twelve years of rescuing experience. They were enlisted by U.A. during the Forest Training Arc to help train the students.[ch. 70] Among its members are:
The League of Villains also makes use of the Nomu (脳無, Nōmu, lit. "Brainless"), monsters with exposed brains and different Quirks who were created by All For One and Daruma from deceased individuals. They are also called Artificial Humans and lack brain function, making them obedient to whoever uses them. The Nomu have been used by the League of Villains even after they merged with the Meta-Liberation Army to form the Paranormal Liberation Front.
They are considered as one of the most infamous villain groups, and their leader is compared to the likes of All For One.[ch. 171] During the time of his imprisonment, Destro wrote the Meta Liberation War, an autobiography in which he expresses his ideology of Quirks liberation, and which undergoes several reprints due to its popularity.[ch. 218]
The Eight Bullets (鉄砲玉 八斎衆, Teppōdama Hassaishū) are Overhaul's eight elite henchman. Most of them were cast out by society and had no reason to live until they were given a purpose by Overhaul. Ironically, despite the fact that they are fiercely loyal to him, Overhaul regards the Eight Bullets as expendable pawns and only sees them for their utilitarian value to his cause.
Humarise (ユマライズ, Yumaraizu) is a global cult and the main villains of My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission. They seek to eliminate Quirks from the world to avert the catastrophe foretold by the Quirk Singularity Doomsday Theory.
The primary rival of U.A. High School, Shiketsu High School (士傑 高校, Shiketsu Kōkō) is regarded as the top hero school in West Japan. Shiketsu has very strict regulations compared to those of U.A. and has a more militaristic environment. During the Dark Hero Arc, it is revealed that Shiketsu allied itself with U.A. to help provide security; and it also established a protocol in light of the events caused by Himiko Toga.
All of the past users of One for All (to the extent their names are known) had names corresponding to their order of ownership of the power. Some are literal inclusions of the number: such as in Shigaraki Yoichi's case, "Ichi" being literally "one"; and in All Might's case, his real last name "Yagi" containing the word "eight". Some are more nuanced or a matter of word-play: such as in Shimura Nana's case, where although the word "seven" is not written out, the Japanese pronunciation of "seven" is "nana"; in Banjo Daigoro's case, where although his "go" is a different word from "five", it sounds the same and contains the word "five"; in Izuku's case, the word "ku" is a word play on "nine". The sixth user's name is an exception, but "En" does not appear to be a real name.
This is one method for avoiding doldrums from having an Invincible Hero. Scenes of Villainous Valor show the antagonists to be outmatched, forcing them to rely on daring, cunning, skill, and determination to hold their own against the heroes, or at least go out with a little dignity. They sometimes even continue a hopeless battle for higher reasons than spite! This often results in a tense back-and-forth as the heroes' raw power is set against whatever the villains brought.
Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose, but the mark of Villainous Valor is that it sees the "bad guys" using tropes that you wouldn't expect from them. In fact, if you were just tuning in, you might even be confused about who you're expected to root for. A fight between the Knight in Shining Armor and The Dragon with his Spikes of Villainy will often leave you cheering for The Hero, but what if The Dragon locks swords with the hero and gets between them and his master, to give the latter time to escape? What if The Dragon is seemingly struck down, only for her Undying Loyalty towards her master and her sheer, unbroken will to spur her into a full-blown Villainous Second Wind? The scene changes completely.
This often appears in shows where the villains are sympathetic or the heroes questionable. Nevertheless, this is not a trope about viewer sympathy so much as bravery, ingenuity and skill on the part of a villainous underdog. If the villains are acting more like the soon-to-be-slaughtered protagonists of a horror film, we might be looking at a Mook Horror Show instead. Contrast David Versus Goliath, where the hero is the weaker one. For villains fighting politely instead of bravely (though they can overlap), see Mook Chivalry.
